14(a) The soft wind rustled in the branches and a solitary dog howled(b) A dry twig crackled under my feet. The rabbit raised its head and looked in my direction. I had no time to lose. I raised the gun to my shoulder and I fired both barrels. When the smoke cleared away there was my fine rabbit scurrying into its burrow.(c) The waves broke noisily upon the shingle and beat against the harbour wall.
